Best of Innocence (2021)
8.5
2021 / Spain / Drama Crime Mystery / Oriol Paul / Mario Casas Ora Garrido

The film consists of three groups of "story": the revenge of Danny's parents who was accidentally pushed to death by Matt, the "video mainline" involving Matt's wife, and the revenge of Kimi who was "abandoned" by Matt's wife.

What can be learned from it?

1. [Danny couple] How should you face the person who hurts the person you love the most: the most painful person is often the person who hates them

Danny's father's final destination

In the Danny murder case, Danny's parents showed two completely different ways of dealing with them: the mother chose to forgive Matt, and even redeemed him when Matt almost "breaks" in the end; the father hated Matt and tried his best to Frame Matt, find someone to go to prison to kill him, try to destroy the relationship between Matt and his wife after he is released from prison, and even kill others to blame Matt...

It is difficult to evaluate the right and wrong of these two choices. After all, it is impossible for an individual to be as relieved as a god when the person closest to him is hurt. But judging from the ending of the show, people who often carry hatred live more painfully than those who let go of hatred.

Danny's mother, who put down her hatred, did not forget the pain that this person once brought her, not deliberately avoiding it, but truly accepting the pain and accepting the result - this really requires great courage and endurance, which really Great.

2. [No. 27 x Head of Crime] What is the real punishment for the perpetrator: let him wake up in the early morning because of the crime he committed

The main line of the film is about the underground pornographic business chain involved in the sexual assault case of minors. In order to "protect" various celebrities who participated in the sexual assault, three prostitutes abused and forced confessions to find the video tape recording the whole process of sexual assault. (Forgive my ability to generalize negatively, maybe the generalization is too hasty, just understand the meaning)

There are two contrasting villains: "undercover" No. 27, who looks for videotapes so he can destroy criminal evidence, and the criminal boss who sells pornography and all sources of business.

The old undercover spy tried his best to cover up his past crimes, this kind of desperate and hard work, and his tearful saying that he didn't want his daughter to know about it before he finally committed suicide, just shows his shame and pain - I I think this is the real punishment for the perpetrator. However, looking at the crime boss, he was just shot and killed in a daze. He was not ashamed of trafficking in women. Maybe what he regretted before his death was why he didn't get rid of the woman who did it to him earlier. Well, this kind of person What's the point of being dead, or going to jail? They have no pain or remorse at all, the only thing they think about is when they can go back and continue to "make money".

Therefore, the most cruel way to treat a criminal is to make him suffer mentally: he thinks he is guilty, he suffers for the sin he has committed, and this is the result we want to see. But often, it is difficult to awaken their remorse if they can truly make everyone spurn.

3.【Candice x Kimi】Love and Betrayal

Candace and Kimi are a pair of "girlfriends" with a more complicated relationship: they have experienced the best and worst times of each other together, but in the end, because of Candace's abandonment, Kimi has fallen into self-blame and self-blame every day. in pain. Kimi starts blackmailing, kidnapping, and revenge after learning about Candace's deception.

I've always felt that Kimi's relationship with Candice is more than just a friendship between besties, it's mixed with love. The love is so possessive that she lets her loving husband watch Candace get raped, and it's complicated to form - in that squalid underground, with only Candice to accompany her She was the only one who was gentle and cared about herself. At that time, she still remembered herself, but now it's different. She has a new life, a new lover, a new name, and she doesn't. Remembering me, she tried to let go of the time she was with me, Kimi.

It's hard to evaluate the relationship. Because we haven't experienced it, we can't empathize with them, and naturally we can't evaluate their emotions. Fortunately, they were relieved in the end. When Kimi handed the message to Candice's children, "I hope you will tell her the story of my aunt", which also reflected Kimi's relief from this relationship. She admitted that they were only best friends. relation.

Look, there are still complex emotions in there.

"You'll make the most of your chance to start all over again. In order to find liberation, you have to blaze trails that you never thought possible."

Compared with the previous "Invisible Guest", "The Most Innocent" is not particularly amazing in terms of logic design and ending reversal. If you look at the bullet screen, you will feel that some plot settings are a little coincidental and unreasonable. , but it is really much stronger than most suspense and reasoning films now: the grasp of the composition of the shots (there are super close-ups that only appear in movies, such as ice soda when drinking, etc.), compact narrative plot, multi-line Character narrative angles, deep thematic ideas...

"The Most Innocent" is not a crime with high IQ in "The Game of Cat and Mouse", and it is not like the recent explosion of "Spy" one by one. Launched a huge network of logic.

After reading it, you will have a lot of feelings. This feeling is internal. It will shake a certain place in your heart, but it will not be so profound that it will shake your heart into an earthquake.

In the end, I can only hope that time can be frozen in the last frame - they sinned, but in essence, innocent.

-THE END
